Not sure what to say?





Hello, I'm one of Susan's grandchildren. Mimi was always bringing chop suey over and leaving it outside so when we opened the door we would see fresh Chop Suey waiting or sometimes wagon wheel cereal. In the summer she used to watch me and my siblings swim in their pool and say "You guys swim like fishies" and when we got out we would hug and kiss and go inside. I will never forget her and she is always in my heart I love you mimi!

Sincerely,
Ayre Joseph Nesbitt

Yes, I am one of Susan's (Mimi's) grandchildren. I am Caden, the 2nd one born. A memory I will always remember is that whenever I walked in the door to her and Papa's house, she used to say, " Hi darlin'!" I used to always go over and hug her and give her kisses. Another, and last memory I remember about her is that about 2 days a week, she used to pick me up from preschool, let me have a lollipop on the way to her and Papa's house, when we got to their house I sat in-front of their kitchen T-V , eat Nutella sandwiches, and watch Caillou.

Those where the best memories of Mimi that I had.

Susan was a caring person and everyone enjoyed talking. Susan and Alan were truly in love with each other forever. I missed seeing them when we were young and in school.

To Alan and family......my heart is very heavy for your loss.Sue was a wonderful person. We met in grammar school(Mitchell) and I can still picture Sue in her Girl Scout uniform. So cute. Then we went on to High School and always remained friends but didn't talk to much because she started dating her best friend and husband to be.I got to talk to her at the reunions and when we girls went out to eat. She left us with memories that can't be erased.Alan,my heart goes out to you and your family.............with deepest sympathy,Kristine Ambrose Buturlia

Dear Mr. B, Molly, Tony, Laura, Ryan, Alanna, Dan and "Nesbitts",
Words cannot express how sorry I am about Mrs. B. I will always remember her sweet smile and welcoming nature. She always made me feel at home, like she did any guest. What I wouldn't do for just one more post it note from her. To Mrs. B, thank you for the countless rides to the mall, taking us to get our hair done at Roc's, lunches at TGI Friday's and for putting up with two hormonal teens (love you, Lani!). You are missed terribly by everyone who was blessed enough to know you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I love you guys. Sincerely, Krissy

Dear Al, Molly, Laura, Alanna and families, I will always remember Sue for being such a loving and dear friend to me. We laughed at the movies we saw and maybe even shed a tear, and then on to the Olive Garden where we somehow were given the same booth to sit down and enjoy our conversation about family and memories we had. I love you Sue! To Al, Molly, Laura and Alanna, so very very sorry. Love and prayers, Gladys
